We intend to update the toolchain, including gcc, after our upcoming
release, which I hope not to delay too much further.

Please share your results with the list (what worked, what didn't, etc.)

We're likely to start supporting similar builds of the Owl userland in
development versions (Owl-current) after the release. I am not sure
which hardening features we'll have enabled by default, though. We're
likely to avoid those with non-negligible performance impact.
Thank you for your feedback / request. It is very helpful for us to
know what direction the current and prospective Owl users would like the
project to evolve in.
